Pocket Knife saves life

Interesting article out of Massachusetts about a girl in a car wash that was saved because someone happened to be carrying a pocket knife, Should be required reading for those that want to ban the carrying of knives.

Had a similar experience a few years back when I cut a baby out of a car seat. EMS wasn't there yet and the car was on its side in the middle of the road. Of the maybe 10 people who had stopped I was the only one with a knife on me.

I never leave home without at least one knife.

Excellent article! Outstanding valor! **** good common sense to have a knife in the pocket! I mean, really, ya just never know when a situation like this, where a knife is required to resolve the issue, will happen. What else could he had expediently used against a scarf made of wool, cotton, acrylic, etc., being drawn into the machinery to save this lady?

Hmmm... I'd say this would be a good reminder to all to check the sharpness of your blades before going out.

It`s very unfortunate for these things have to happen, but it does show how important knives are in our daily lives, and folks who are against knives will take a different view of them and realize that they can be used for a good cause. :)
